Assume you can use them for both if they are both H7. I am going to try that setup as soon as I can get around to it. Currently have H7 Extremes in the Brights.

Just the one set. One bulb for each side. They also come with a pair of W5W bulbs. I put these in the eyelids. If you are getting two sets of CV(one for fogs and one for low beams) you will have enough bulbs for both eyelids the lows, and the fogs.

The first site doesn't seem ot have CVs... Well I only wanted to order off costco was because it is cheap. Only 42.99 cdn for a set. Now I gotta check if my friend ordered them for me yet, if he hasn't i'll figure out if the CVs from Costco are really differnt than the ones you guys have gotten.

Yea it weird, I bough mines for 37 buck ship. It just arrived today, I already installed it and waiting for nightime so I can see how it looks. I even went to philips.com, and they said that the CV Ultra is the new improve even brigther than the original CV that come even close to the HID look.

hmm..I just checked the Costco site, indeed it is CV Ultra. I always thought that all CVs were the same. Good catch, so please wait until night time and see if they are any "white" thanks,

It matches much better during the nighttime than daytime, I drove it today in the morning and the fogs are much whiter than our stock ones, but just not quite there. But at night time they match very nicely. I will check again at night just to be sure and will let you know. How do I upload a picture. Funny thing is. I think the old CV are stated 4300k, the new CV ultra is 4000k and states it brigther than the orginal CV (phillips homepage).
